“… Get today’s solid ground out of yesterday’s quicksand”

Battle at the Berrics: The games this weekend seemed again to not disappoint, and since no one wore a lucha mask all my picks worked out. 2 more games next weekend and then on to the next round. Until this point I was thoroughly convinced not to bet against a Skater of the Year… Until this Point! Reynolds, not a loser, but still lost. Watch the games here, then re-watch PJ do his thing here. Bring on Koston….

“The Best Job in the World”.… you still have 26 Days to apply.

Job Description: Island Caretaker. Exploring the islands of the Great Barrier Reef to discover what the area has to offer.

Duties Include: Feed the fish – There are over 1,500 species of fish living in the Great Barrier Reef. Don’t worry – you won’t need to feed them all.

Clean the pool – The pool has an automatic filter, but if you happen to see a stray leaf floating on the surface it’s a great excuse to dive in and enjoy a few laps.

Collect the mail – During your explorations, why not join the aerial postal service for a day? It’s a great opportunity to get a bird’s eye view of the reef and islands.

Compensation: A salary package of AUD $150,000 for the six-month contract ($97,700 USD).

“Iron Mike” Documentary By: James Toback

The photo is classic & Mike Tyson is tight. If you haven’t heard already this documentary premiered at Cannes, getting picked up by Sony at Sundance. The film is told entirely by MT pieced together by past and recent interviews. ”The point is not to polish his image or make a cinematic apology, but rather to get a firsthand look at a very complex and epic story,” Toback said. Check the interview with MT @ Cannes here, then check out a short clip here.
